I have source code for a Windows DLL that is written in C++ and uses Visual Component Library. Now my task is to port that to Linux, but I don’t have source code for the VCL itself, or any kind of documentation (and I have never worked with Borland C++; in my Windows days I used MFC).

This should not be all that hard, since my DLL does not have any GUI: as far as I can see, it mostly uses VCL for multithreading. I ran into a class that inherits from TThread and that is where I got stuck. I did some search on the Internet, but found no documentation for VCL so far. I would like to avoid buying a book on Borland C++ Builder, because I don’t have time to wait for it to arrive from the Amazon. I cannot consider buying the package for Windows, because at work I only have a Linux box.

Any suggestions?

  1. The VCL is documented on CodeGear’s web site. TThread in particular is described here.

    I’ve found the documentation on the threading-related components of the VCL to be rather sparse. This site has a much better description of the Delphi/VCL approach to threading.
